Abstract
Infant swaddling allows an infant to be comfortably and easily swaddled. The swaddling includes a pouch featuring a lower end that can be opened and closed to allow an infant's soiled diaper to be easily removed and replaced or to take a rectal temperature. The swaddling can include a blanket that comprises a first blanket flap and a second blanket flap and that can be removably attached to the pouch. The swaddle is used by placing one of the blanket flaps over the pouch, and then placing the other blanket flap over the pouch.
Claims17
Infant swaddling comprising:
- a sheet made of a resilient, moisture-wicking material that maintains pressure on an infant and reduces excess moisture within the sheet when in use, the sheet configured to open to lay flat and defined by an outward-facing surface that, when the infant is placed on the sheet, faces away from the infant and an inner-facing surface that, when the infant is placed on the sheet, faces toward the infant, and the sheet comprising
- an upper portion adjacent to an upper edge that, when in use, the infant's head extends beyond the upper portion at the upper edge;
- a lower portion adjacent to a lower edge, the lower portion spaced apart from the upper portion;
- a first laterally extending region adjacent to a first side edge, the outward-facing surface of the first laterally extending region comprising a first attachment having a first length;
- a second laterally extending region adjacent to a second side edge, the inner-facing surface of the second laterally extending region comprising a second attachment that is recloseable with and complementary with the first attachment and having a second length, the first length being longer than the second length, wherein the first attachment and the second attachment are configured to allow adjustment to accommodate the infant's growth;
- and
- wherein the lower portion comprises a loop, spaced apart from the lower edge, wherein the loop is fixed closer to the second side edge than the first side edge, wherein to close access through the lower portion, the lower portion is configured to be gathered and passed through the loop, wherein the loop is configured to reduce the possibility of the lower portion creeping during use, and wherein, when first attachment is closed with the second attachment, the lower portion is configured to be opened, allowing access to the infant near the infant's feet or bottom.

Infant swaddling comprising:
- a sheet made of a resilient, moisture-wicking material that maintains pressure on an infant and reduces excess moisture within the sheet when in use, the sheet configured to open to lay flat and comprising
- an outward-facing surface that, when the infant is placed on the open sheet, faces away from the infant,
- an inner-facing surface that, when the infant is placed on the open sheet, faces toward the infant,
- an upper portion comprising
- an upper section that, when in use, the infant's head extends beyond the upper portion at the upper section,
- a first sloped section comprising an upper edge that slopes downward from the upper section and toward a first side edge, and
- a second sloped section comprising an upper edge that slopes downward from the upper section and toward a second side edge,
- wherein at least a part of the first sloped section or at least a part of the second sloped section, when in use, is under the infant's chin region,
- a lower portion spaced apart from the upper portion;
- a first laterally extending region adjacent to the first side edge, the outward-facing surface of the first laterally extending region comprising a first attachment having a first length extending laterally inward;
- a second laterally extending region adjacent to the second side edge, the inner-facing surface of the second laterally extending region comprising a second attachment recloseable with and complementary with the first attachment, the second attachment having a second length extending laterally inward, the first length greater than the second length to allow adjustment to accommodate the infant's growth;
- wherein the lower portion comprises an elastic loop, wherein the elastic loop is fixed closer to the second side edge than the first side edge, wherein to close access through the lower portion, the lower portion is configured to be gathered and passed through the loop, and wherein, when first attachment is closed with the second attachment, the lower portion is configured to be opened, allowing access to the infant near the infant's feet or bottom.
